Tudor Talk
“I thank you all for the honour ye have done to me on this day.”

Haddon Hall
Haddon Hall is the closest thing to a time machine. It is one of the most unaltered houses to survive the medieval age having lay dormant for over 200 years. Its decoration and contents remain the same - saved from the fashions of the Georgians and Victorians!
Haddon Hall is a fortified medieval manor house dating from the 12th Century and is the home of Lord and Lady Edward Manners whose family have owned it since 1567.
Margaret Dymoke had close connections with the Hall; she was Anne’s bedfellow and Cromwell’s spy, when Anne was imprisoned in the Tower. No doubt Anne was discussed many times within the rooms of the hall, not just of her marriage but also her untimely end.
Haddon boasts the finest example of a Tudor kitchen and a beautiful chapel with early 15th century frescoes; set within the rolling hills of the Peak District. The Hall was featured in the film The Other Boleyn Girl, and will be seen soon in the new film, Jane Eyre.
